Reverse Scooby doo

What are you even talking about lol. Wow your psychosis is bad.

If imperialism and colonialism is justifiable because we as outsiders find a practice abhorrent. Then you have just justified what the United States did to my family. Stealing their homes culture and religion. Would I have wanted to live as they did? Probably not. But we were never given the choice. Because it was stolen. This is what your advocating for. This is why you are rightfully called a hypocrite.

I get that you’ve never thought about it that far. That you aren’t actually against anything bad that’s happening. You are simply a Pro Vanguard campist unquestioningly. I’m sure you’ve never considered that someone could criticize one group’s acts without defending anothers. That two things can be bad at the same time. And one bad thing does not justify another bad thing.

No I’m simply stating that changing one brainwashing for another is not helping. And the reason I haven’t answered any of your questions is because you haven’t asked any questions. You’ve been making a lot of false accusations.

Quote a single thing I said that was pro religious. You love to build strawmen. But have nothing of actual value to say. Typical leninist.

I qualify as a communist, why would I be pushing anti-communist propaganda. I’m simply pointing out your hypocrisy and the hypocrisy of leninism. You’re not a communist.

Nice strawman you got there. This has nothing to do with what I believe or don’t believe Beyond I believe people should have a right to self-determination. I realize that childish leninists are so cock sure and think they know better. Wanting to force their own backward beliefs on everyone else. As much as these Tibetan Monks do. Two wrongs don’t make a right.

And I mean as someone coming from a leninist instance it’s extremely hilarious that you act as if not having political representation is a bad thing. Political representation actual political representation is denied to wide swaths of people under a Vanguard.

Regarding your laughable whataboutism. I absolutely believe that Guam should be given the right to vote for president if they desire and that the United States should recognize them. Hey quick question when is China going to give the Uyghurs the right to self-determination and to vote? Oh oh that’s right, China gave up the right to vote for president completely.

Not at all. The fact of the matter is many of the people in that region and culture View things differently than you and I do. If they gave people the option to relocate and escape the reach of this monastery. You honestly wouldn’t see many people take it. Which is more or less the point. All this may sound horrific to you and i. As does tribal body mutilation etc. But to those tribes and cultures it is part of their culture.

If China actually cared about the people. Rather than forcing the monastery closed and them to abandon their religion/culture. They would simply offer to relocate them away from the monastery if they feared for their children.

Without children and followers to harness. The religion would die on its own. Even as the general culture would endure. China explicitly does not want that. China specifically is trying to oppress and eradicate cultural differences.

People are 100% Justified to call China out on this. And in doing so are not defending all of tibet’s actions. Two things can be wrong at the same time. All sides can be wrong at the same time. This is one of those cases. There is no defense of China or Tibet here. China is not doing this out of some goodness of their heart or humanitarian need. Simply their own selfish goals.

So colonialism/imperialism is okay? Either it is or it isn’t. All I’m asking for is consistency.

It’s 100% possible to find beliefs and practices of cults and cultures to be abhorrent. But also acknowledge that trying to forcefully change things. Almost invariably backfires. As well as undermining any moral stance you may have once had.

Or other “western” nations. I’ve never knowingly met someone staunchly ml. That was from an area formerly or currently ml.

Talking to someone from China etc you generally will not hear them specifically shit on their government. Mostly because the government will come knocking and threatening violence as they did with Naomi. But you will catch them nervously deflecting to justifying it. Acknowledging it without speaking of it. Though even that could not save Naomi.

Hilariously Lemmy.ml is blocked in China. Where a lot of other Lemmy instances aren’t strictly.

Huh, I genuinely consume more British TV than I do US TV. And I’m well aware and familiar with someone getting “shot dead”. That’s clear. But putting the subject after the description just sorry of jackknifes the temporal understanding. Mayor shot dead. “Oh they were killed” Vs shot dead mayor “why are they shooting a corpse”.

I mean, I guess dead is an adjective. Which is often used before a subject to describe it. So grammatically it’s “correct”. If obtuse. But then I’m sure there are phrasings Americans use like that.

The headline gore is real.

How is that not taking away autonomy? That’s kind of literally the definition of. They aren’t appealing for them to close the monastery on their own. They are forcing it.

You and I can both state plainly that the practices are harmful. And even justify the assertion. We would never subject ourselves to it by choice. But that’s the thing it has to be a choice. Give them other choices other opportunities. That is absolutely fine.

But the moment you enact your beliefs upon others through violence. It doesn’t matter if you are factually correct. You are no longer the “good guy”. You’ve lost the argument. If you cannot make the case for it on merits alone.

There is a very good reason concepts of imperialism and colonization are frowned upon these days. Why you don’t see many groups talking about going out and civilizing savages. These are the so-called “good intentions” that the proverbial road to Hell is paved with. The same sort of justification that they used to separate my grandmother from her family. And sent her to special schools. The kind that in many places often ended up with mass Graves of children.

Would that be worth taking away his autonomy and will without consent?

Make all the misguided excuses you want for what China is doing. It won’t make it right. It was wrong when the United States did it to my family. And it is wrong when China is doing it now.

If China wants to help them. Then offer them opportunity and choice. If the opportunities and choice are better. Their culture will adapt and change to it. Forcing eradication of their culture through violence will only breed resentment and grievance.

One China and all. Oh other people exist? Reeeeeeeeeeeeeeee one China!

Unfortunately though. There aren’t very many easy arm distros that are Arch based. I have done the traditional Arch install on x86 systems though. Gentoo as well. They are definitely good learning experiences. But honestly even as a techie person. For my money. I’m not going to waste time doing that every time I end up reinstalling or installing.

People forget or are blissfully unaware of the financial mismanagement, the basic incompetence with keeping their own domain. They nearly lost it several times. Not to mention shipping with the AUR while being incompatible in many ways with the Aur.

If someone wants to use Endeavor or Garuda or one of the other different easy to use Arch spin-offs. There’s no issue with that. They all work like they’re supposed to and have generally been competent teams. There really is very little reason to use Manjaro these days. The last time I used it was for their Raspberry Pi version. Which wasn’t really going to work with the Aur anyhow. But I think endeavor is still providing a pi image now so there’s still no reason to use Manjaro

That said all this is yet another tick for Wayland.

That and it speaks to a lack of maturity and professionalism which doesn’t inspire confidence in the project.

There’s no need to hurt the devs for sure though. They do that well enough on their own.

The problems with the Lemmy developers though is plain on the face of it. Problematic political and social positions. And then demanding that donations must go towards furthering those problematic political and social positions. Because they think they found this one weird trick that nobody can argue with. Their Flagship server is the political server. It’s not lemmy.org after all.

Not to mention that the admins of the server moderate more than most the moderators on the server. There is no free speech. It doesn’t matter how moderate or respectful you are. If you go against the narrative you will be banned.

Development wise they are also vanguard minded. Does the userbase want features the devs aren’t working on? That’s too bad. The devs are going to work on what they want to work on. Whether or not that’s a good thing. Which can sometimes it can be. It also has led to a number of people reluctant to contribute. The childish cliquesh behavior.

You’re not always going to agree with the politics and views of the people who write the software you use. And that is okay. But when they mix the two it’s not wrong to have issues with that.
